Memory loss can be frustrating and difficult to cope with. However, there are ways of managing the problems you’re facing.
Many of the ideas in this booklet are suggestions from people who have problems with their memory. Everyone has their own way of coping, and what works for one person does not always work for another.
Use the suggestions in this booklet to find what works for you. You might want to discuss some of the suggestions with friends and family.
If you have memory loss, you might also be having problems with things like organising, thinking clearly, concentrating, communicating or seeing things properly. Your symptoms may have resulted in a recent diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), dementia or another condition such as depression, or functional cognitive disorder.
You may not have a diagnosis at all, but might still be looking for ways to deal with memory problems.
